Aelita stood in a forest, not daring to move, not daring to even breathe; a creature had stepped out of the bushes in front of her, searching for something. The creature was big and white and boxy. Wolf-like except for the fact that it was almost angular, with box-like paws, a square head, sharp, pointy ears, long fangs, and a crooked tail. Around it's neck was a collar etched with words that couldn't quite be made out, from that collar hung a fang, the lower portion of the fang was blood red. From it's collar, reaching down and around the creature's ribs, was a sash-like thing, words were also written on that, slightly too small to be made out. Its eyes were big and black and hollow. Upon its chest there was a symbol, a big black symbol, a symbol that struck fear into Aelita's heart, the eye of XANA.
-----------------------
Aelita woke with a start, gasping for breath. She looked over at the bed across the room. It was empty. Yumi was gone. Aelita got out of bed and dressed quickly, finding a note on top of her boots.
Aelita
Sparring with Ulrich. I'll be back later.
Yumi.
Aelita bit her lip. Her dream had been so real. She hoped that Yumi and Ulrich were in the gym. This is silly, Aelita told herself, XANA's been shut down for months. There's nothing to worry about. She still couldn't convince herself. Maybe Odd would help, he could at least make her feel better.
---------------------
"What was that?" Yumi asked, looking away from Ulrich towards where some bushes were rustling.
"I don't know," Ulrich said, pausing mid-kick to look at the bushes as well.
The bushes stopped moving and the two teens walked over to get a better look.
"It looks like a footprint." Yumi stated.
"A square footprint." Ulrich agreed, sounding confused slightly.
"That's really weird." Yumi concluded, turning away to continue their sparring.
--------------------
"XANA's gone Aelita, we both watched Jeremie shut down the supercomputer." Odd said, holding Aelita's hand comfortingly.
"I know, but I can't shake the sense that something's wrong." Aelita said.
"Let's go down to the factory after breakfast, maybe that will put your mind at ease." Odd suggested.
"Okay." Aelita agreed, looking doubtful, "Let's go through the boiler room though."
--------------------
"So then, are you even listening?" Lucy asked, seeing that Jeremie had begun his computer work again.
"Yes." Jeremie replied shortly.
"Sure, What are you even working on anyway?" Lucy said disbelievingly.
"Nothing." Jeremie sighed, turning to face Lucy, "Continue."
"Ok, so then…" Lucy continued on with her babbling to Jeremie, while he half-listened, arms crossed.
--------------------------
"A square footprint huh?" Odd mused. Ulrich and Yumi had told them about the strange experience in the park.
"I knew I wasn't going crazy!" Aelita said, her happiness soon turning to fear though, "What can it mean?"
"Going crazy?" Odd muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes, "It means there was somebody out there with one foot wearing a square shoe." He answered.
"Not likely." Aelita said.
Music began playing, faint, but not faint enough to ignore.
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friend
On sleepless roads the sleepless go,
May angels lead you in.
Those four lines played eerily throughout the school.
"What just happened?" Yumi asked, looking around nervously.
"I don't know." Aelita answered hesitantly.
There was a knock at the door before Lucy flew into the room.
"Lucy! What's wrong?" Aelita gasped.
"Jeremie, when the music played, he… he collapsed, holding his leg." Lucy said between deep breaths to calm herself.
Odd and Aelita exchanged nervous glances.
"Jeremie collapsing, the footprint, the music, it all has to tie together somehow." Aelita murmured, "But how?"

Good so far? I intend to continue it but I value your opinions! R&R Please!
